口過密，過度工業(yè)化的星球所付出的代價(jià)。當(dāng)我們起先考慮垃圾問題時(shí)，我們只有4種應(yīng)付垃圾的方法：傾倒、焚燒、把垃圾變成再生材料或試圖少產(chǎn)生一些垃圾。我們始終在試這4種方式，但是，我們?cè)谑澜绶秶鷥?nèi)僅產(chǎn)生的垃圾的量就有把我們覆蓋的危急。然而，垃圾只是我們這個(gè)星球的污染問題的一個(gè)方面。日益增長(zhǎng)的對(duì)廉價(jià)食物的需求導(dǎo)致了另一種形式的污染。工業(yè)化的農(nóng)作方式生產(chǎn)出廉價(jià)的肉類制品——牛肉、豬肉和雞肉。運(yùn)用殺蟲劑和化肥生產(chǎn)出廉價(jià)的谷物和蔬菜。為了廉價(jià)食物我們付出代價(jià)已經(jīng)太高了：牛肉中的瘋牛病，雞肉和雞蛋中的沙門氏菌，奶制品中的利斯特桿菌。假如你想放棄肉類而變成一位素食者，那么你可以兩者擇一：或是選用價(jià)格昂貴、有機(jī)培植的蔬菜，或是當(dāng)你認(rèn)為在享用簇新色拉和簇新蔬菜或飲用一杯無害的水的時(shí)候，事實(shí)上每次都不斷吃進(jìn)殺蟲劑。但是，還有一種更加隱藏有害的污染，它特地影響城鎮(zhèn)地區(qū)，侵襲我們的日常生活，那就是噪音。防盜警報(bào)器在白天和黑夜的任何時(shí)候都會(huì)響起來，它的作用只是騷擾過路行人，而事實(shí)上卻幫助竊賊入室行竊。在街上，汽車的防盜警報(bào)不斷對(duì)我們吼叫，這是人們極度煩燥的一個(gè)緣由，最近一個(gè)有關(guān)噪音的作用的調(diào)查（令人驚訝地）指出，夜間連綿不斷的狗叫聲，在一個(gè)從1級(jí)至7級(jí)刻度表上應(yīng)列為最嚴(yán)峻的噪間污染。這個(gè)調(diào)查揭示了我們所不喜愛的大量的噪間的來源：夏天嗚嗚作響的割草機(jī)，公寓樓里深夜聚會(huì)的喧嘩聲，大聲吵鬧的鄰居，各種各樣的車輛，特殊是穿越寧靜的村莊的集裝箱卡車，從頭頂飛過的飛機(jī)和直升機(jī)，被帶到公共場(chǎng)所、音量開到最大的大功率收音機(jī)。新技術(shù)也為噪音作了它的貢獻(xiàn)。很多人都反對(duì)移動(dòng)式電話，特殊是在如飯店，公共交通車等公共場(chǎng)所運(yùn)用移動(dòng)電話。用移動(dòng)電話大聲交談干擾我們的思路，破壞我們和摯友在一起輕聲閑聊所得到的樂趣。這個(gè)有關(guān)噪音的污染調(diào)查還揭示了一種出人意外而同時(shí)可能會(huì)引人意外而同時(shí)可能會(huì)引人發(fā)笑的老式噪音源。它竟然是鼾聲。人類是這方面的罪魁禍?zhǔn)住Ｕ{(diào)查指出，20%的35歲左右的男人打鼾；而到60歲這個(gè)年齡段，這個(gè)數(shù)字上升到令人驚愕的60%。與這些數(shù)字相比，只有5%的女性常常打鼾；而其余則常常被與她們同睡、像吹號(hào)似地打著呼嚕的男人吵醒或弄得睡不著。不管噪聲來自何方，有一點(diǎn)是確定的：看來寧靜已變成一種寶貴的回憶。四：語法填空練習(xí)It’salmostacommonbeliefthatthebestfoodyoucanfindinaplaceisnotinthefancyrestaurants,1inthebackstreets.Thesespotsareusuallyawayfrompopulartouristattractions,whichmeansthattofindthemyou’llneedthespiritofanexplorer.
